Nelly Korda Reveals the Golfer Her Mom Once Wanted Her to Marry: Fans Are Totally Shocked — Here’s His Identity
In a light-hearted but surprising moment during a recent interview, golf superstar Nelly Korda opened up about a fun piece of family history — the one golfer her mother once hoped she’d end up marrying. And fans didn’t see it coming.
“She was convinced he had everything — talent, personality, charm,” Nelly said with a laugh. “She used to tease me about it all the time.”
The golfer in question? Rory McIlroy.
According to Korda, her mom admired not only Rory’s skills on the course, but also the way he handled himself off of it. At the time, she even jokingly told Nelly that he would be “a dream son-in-law.”
“Obviously, it was never serious,” Nelly clarified. “But it just shows how much my mom respected him as a player and a person.”
The internet quickly reacted with surprise and amusement, calling it one of the most relatable “mom moments” ever.
“Nelly’s mom having a crush on Rory for her is so real,” one fan commented.
“This just made me love their family even more,” another added.
Though Nelly and Rory never dated, the moment gave fans a rare and humorous glimpse into her private life — and a reminder that even sports stars have playful family stories just like the rest of us.
